Computer-monitored processes guarantee consistently high quality and a low stress base material that, from semi-finished to finished component, is ideal for use in many sectors of industry, engineering, automated and conveyor systems.
ABOVE AND BEYOND THE STANDARDS WITHOUT NEGLECTING THE BASICS PRODUCT RANGE OVERVIEW FROM THE SHEET TO THE FINISHED COMPONENT PROFILAN offers a wide range of semi-finished components for the most diverse range of uses. It is not unusual for our processors and customers to require a high level of flexibility as some orders are not ideally served by the standard program. Thanks to the most up to date production technology we can manufacture to special settings, special dimensions and special thicknesses. We would gladly advise you personally on this or we can send you an exact list of the technical specifications. The production takes place in line with the standards DIN EN ISO 15527 and DIN ISO 2768. 6 7
SPECIALISED IN THE WHOLE As a manufacturer of semi-finished components you have to know exactly what counts when it comes to processing. Our customers and processors are expecting this in particular from us. We gain experience from close cooperation with our clients and their honest feedback and last but not least from our own production areas on site. Here Research & Development works hand in hand with the production department. Direct cooperation is indispensable in the product innovation sector. In this way, new materials pass through numerous tests both in and outside of the lab. All under real conditions with genuine machines and quantities that provide reliable information as to when a new material is ready to go into series production.
The special services provided by PROFILAN: If our customers experience capacity bottlenecks, we will take over a part of the production on our machines as a contract manufacturer. That is what comprehensive support looks like! 8 9

MACHINE BUILDING INDUSTRY ALWAYS EXACTLY RIGHT Modern plastics are increasingly replacing significantly more expensive metals in engineering. Many components can be manufactured from UHMW to experience less wear. The material s advantages are especially notable in the transport mechanism sector due to the high level of wear and abrasion resistance and low coefficients of sliding friction. A FANTASTIC MATERIAL FOR DEMANDING APPLICATIONS Nowadays, UHMW and HMW polyethylene is used in all sectors of industry. Its special properties are vastly superior to those of many other materials. It is not unusual for these to be further intensified for niche applications where the material is modified.
BOTTLING AND DRINKS INDUSTRY PACKAGING AND FOOD INDUSTRY AGRICULTURAL TECHNOLOGY AND FARMING MACHINERY Drinks crates are a simple example of how well plastic and glass can work in harmony. High levels of sound and impact damping as well as wear and abrasion resistance are just some of the advantages that PE has. In many sectors of industry and bottling plants components are manufactured from our materials. We are suppliers to some of the biggest manufacturers and bottling plant operators. Food safe certification has a special relevance in the food and packaging industry. In this sector optimal production standards must be continually ensured. Our materials have the ideal properties to be used in the production and processing sector as the plastics are physiologically harmless and are allowed to come into contact with food. Many sectors of agriculture also require a food-safe certification, just as in industry, e.g. for use in dairy plants. Or conveyor technology is needed that allows it to carry out its daily duties as wear-free and quietly as possible. UHMW can be easily used on the field and in the barn. 12 13
Unlike metals, our materials are acid-resistant. If surfaces should subsequently come into contact with aggressive solutions, plastics are often used in the machine building process. This is where the material has an extra advantage as it doesn t absorb water. Nowadays, electro-mechanics are used in many different sectors. Correspondingly, the demands on electrical components are complex and manifold. Extremely low production tolerances are also important. Using our special plastics it is possible to manufacture components that are both, isolating and conductive. Our components are available as ATEX 95 compliant upon request. Conveyor belts and track systems look very different nowadays than they did a few decades ago. Seldom can one material combines so many advantages. Lower wear combined with lower noise levels make plastic conveyor systems the best choice. CHEMICAL AND PAPER INDUSTRY ELECTRONICS INDUSTRY ATEX STANDARDS CONVEYOR TECHNOLOGY
BULK GOODS- AND MINING INDUSTRY OFFSHORE/ HARBOUR CONSTRUCTION LOAD AND WORKPIECE CARRIERS The level of automatization in the bulk goods and mining industry continues to rapidly increase. Our PROslide is ideally suited to use in critical, gaseous environments if care is being taken to avoid flying sparks caused by abrasion. This increases the level of workplace safety and lowers operating costs. Outstanding gliding properties in combination with extremely low water absorption make our components especially efficient. Lock gate and port areas are shunted by wind and inclement weather. The ships shift thousands of tonnes that have to be intercepted by the ramparts. Plastic offers the best possible protection without causing deforming damage. The low water absorption and the high levels of wear and abrasion resistance ensure that PE gives the fenders and planks a long life span. Costly damages caused by transportation can be minimised by professional load carriers. The high and durable dimensional stability as opposed to conventional materials combined with the impact and anti-abrasion properties of our plastics can be used to make a workpiece carrier or a toothed strip to ensure the cargo is secure when in transport or in storage. The result is lower rejection rates and therefore less complaints 14 15
FROM A CHOPPING BOARD TO A HIGH-TECH COMPONENT PE IS ALWAYS THE BASE PROlen 9000 Premium -UHMW- and PROlen 6000 -UHMW- are amongst our core products. PROlen 3000 RCM -UHMW-, a regenerated and thereby affordable, economic alternative that can be used for many different purposes. PROlen 500 REIN -HMW- is a good material with a high level of technical functionality. PROFILAN offers a variety of special products that can be used in FoodClass and ATEX 95 applications or that have enhanced properties for increased levels of gliding properties or temperature resistance.
FOODCLASS ACCORDING TO: REGULATION (EC) NO. 1935/2004 AND (EU) NO.10/2011 The EU directives require more stringent controls on products and increased levels of checks for products that come into contact with food. PROFILAN takes responsibility for this and has its products tested in accordance with the above mentioned regulations. The products are tested by an independent laboratory at the corresponding migration values (OML and SML) and can subsequently be confirmed as adherent to the regulations. The manufacturing process, the raw materials, semi-finished components/sheets and the final products are checked and documented at each stage of the manufacturing process. The entire manufacturing conforms to the regulation (EC) No.2023/2006-GMP-Good- Manufacturing-Practice. 16 17
